Using ComproPVR
Notes
Check your PC system clock for accuracy.
The ComproPVR scheduler program must be running
(orange circle visible in the system tray).
Timeshifting
Timeshifting lets you pause, replay, or skip commercials
during live TV, without interrupting an ongoing recording
session. Timeshifting gives you absolute control over
how you watch television, like never before. For example,
you watch your favorite sporting event, pause the live
action and help yourself to an ice-cold beverage from the
fridge.
Timeshifting temporary saves the video to your hard disk
for a specified period of time.
When you return to your seat, you can resume viewing
the program from the point when you left.
Note
Timeshifting can use significant disk space and cannot
automatically skip commercials.
Additional Discussion
In timeshifting, you are recording to and playing back
from the same video file or buffer. You can playback from
various locations in that buffer.
Similar to video playback, you can pause, fast-forward,
and rewind. A major difference, however, is that
ComproPVR is simultaneously recording live television.
This means you will see greater CPU utilization during
timeshifting because you are simultaneously recording
and playing recorded videos. At full DVD quality,
timeshifting can require up to a 1.7 GHz CPU.
